Bright French Manicure Tutorial appeared first on OLENA.
If you like French manicure, you can keep wearing it in spring and summer – just add some color.
Begin by applying two coats of bright base polish (like in the cover photo above), then layer on Sally Hansen Insta-Dry top coat or any other top coat.
Let the base set for about an hour just to make sure it’s completely dry.Place a strip of tape across each nail, paint on two coats of other color for tips (or even 2-3 different colors to make it more fun). Let the color dry for about five minutes before slowly peeling off the tape. To keep your manicure from having a ridge at the tip, make sure to seal your nails with one or more layers of top coat.
Another way to create a colorful version of French manicure is to use transparent or nude base color and colorful tips of your choice. This version is very elegant and a perfect fit for any age and any style.
Maybelline NYC made a lovely and short video tutorial demonstrating an easy way to do it at home.
